SMM Manager

We make gaming products that don't suck. Our community actually likes us. We need someone who gets why that's rare and wants to keep it that way.

The Gig

You'll be the voice of our brand across social platforms. Not the corporate "we're excited to announce" voice. The actual human voice that makes people stop scrolling because they're genuinely entertained or informed.

What You'll Actually Do

• Create content that gamers want to share, not content that screams "please engage with our brand"
• Manage our presence on Twitter/X, TikTok, Instagram, Discord, and wherever gamers migrate next
• Turn product launches into events people care about
• Monitor trends and memes fast enough to be relevant (not the "how do you do, fellow kids" kind)
• Engage with our community like a real person, handle trolls with wit instead of copy-paste responses
• Collaborate with our creative team to make assets that don't look like stock photo hell
• Track metrics that matter (not just vanity numbers)
• Manage influencer relationships and partnerships

You Should Have

• 2+ years experience in social media marketing (gaming industry highly preferred)
• A portfolio that proves you understand internet culture and gaming communities
• Native fluency in meme economy and can tell the difference between a trend and cringe
• Experience with content creation tools (Adobe Suite, CapCut, Canva, whatever works)
• Analytics skills beyond "number go up = good"
• Crisis management experience (yes, gamers will be mad about something)
• Understanding of platform algorithms and how to work with/around them

Nice to Have

• Experience managing Discord communities (10k+ members)
• Actual gaming credibility (we'll know if you're faking)
• Video editing and motion graphics skills
• Experience with paid social campaigns
• Twitch/YouTube content experience

Red Flags We're Avoiding

• People who think "synergy" is a real word humans use
• Anyone whose previous work is 100% scheduled promotional posts
• Someone who doesn't understand why players got mad about [recent gaming controversy]
• People who need to Google "what is Discord"

Compensation & Perks

• Health, dental, vision insurance
• Unlimited PTO (that we actually want you to use)
• Remote-first workplace
• Gaming budget for "research purposes"
• Conference & training budget
• PS5 for "market researching" (and definitely not personal use)
  Please don't:
• Send a cover letter explaining how passionate you are about gaming (show us instead)
• Apply if you're going to ask us to sign an NDA before sharing your portfolio
• Use ChatGPT to write your screening answers (we can tell, and it's embarrassing for everyone)
